Objective. This study is aimed at investigating the predictive value of CENPA in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Methods. Using integrated bioinformatic analysis, we evaluated the CENPA mRNA expression in tumor and adjacent tissues and correlated it with HCC survival and clinicopathological features. A Cox regression hazard model was also performed. Results. CENPA mRNA was significantly upregulated in tumor tissues compared with that in adjacent tissues, which were validated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) series (all ). In the Kaplan-Meier plotter platform, the high level of CENPA mRNA was significantly correlated with overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and progression-free survival (PFS) in HCC patients (all log rank ). For validation in GSE14520 and pan-TCGA dataset, HCC patients with CNEPA mRNA overexpression had poor OS compared with those with low CENPA mRNA (log rank and , respectively), and those with high CENPA had poor DFS in TCGA (log rank ). Additionally, CENPA mRNA were upregulated in HCC patients with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) elevation, advanced TNM stage, larger tumor size, advanced AJCC stage, advanced pathology grade, and vascular invasion (all ). A Cox regression model including CENPA, OIP5, and AURKB could predict OS in HCC patients effectively ().Conclusion. Overexpressed in tumors, CENPA might be an oncogenic factor in the development of HCC patients.
